There's no place in the case for your ear buds. But in stores, like Walmart, Target, and such, you can buy little cases for contact lenses. I think something like that would be small enough to carry and protect ear buds. I keep mine in the little plastic sac they came in with the bookport. But I also have some expensive ones I bought years ago and keep in such a little plastic case. Lois Goodine. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
